Notice how I cited a source, that’s intelligence. Not just decided I was wealthy and therefore inherently smarter. That’s ignorance.

It was an open secret that getting a learning disabilities diagnosis is a great SAT booster. Also makes you eligible for more time on regular school exams and you can use it to later get more on the LSATs (not sure about other grad level exams, but I am sure it’s similar)

The thing that correlates highest with SAT score is household income.

Household income is also a strong indicator of GPA, school competitiveness, and college attended.

I suspect those with money that like the current system spread this information because it makes them feel their success is their own, and not because it was given to them.

Unless you are a social Darwinist who believe the poor are genetically worse…

Second, don’t understand how the atomic bomb argument makes sense. Germany was developing them and would have used them if it got there first.

Are you suggesting the US really is truly the only nation that would ever have used atomic weapons? That if Japan made it first they would have spared China or the US?

Someone made a joke comment how in a few years there would be tons of HN threads about rewriting Rust to Zig.

As a person looking for a job, I’m really not sure what to do. If people are lying on their resumes and cheating in interviews, it feels like there’s nothing I can do except do the same. Otherwise I’ll remain jobless.

But to this day I haven’t done either.

True for 99% of programming jobs, but if you are worried about the speed of null checks, you are in that 1%.

In high frequency trading, if you aren’t first your last and this is the exact type of code optimizations you need for the “happy path”

Feel like you have already made up your mind on what you want to believe, but he has actually helped a lot with non-violent drug offenders. That’s part of the reason poor communities (especially Latino) have voted for him despite harsh border policies.

TikTok I think was going for more of a shock factor. Maybe even without talking to Trump they have credited him as restoring it, might seem weird for him to “go back on it”.

Or maybe it’s to put him in good light.

This creates a vacuum of time that Americans now can use on other tech apps. American leisure hours is a finite resource, in a way TikTok competes with Netflix, Meta, and even sports.

That’s revenue in other areas.

Especially since a lot of young voters / voters in general don’t see much of the impact of the president.

Him doing something popular that the average person can see seems like a huge win.

Most normal New Yorkers use the subway

I saw the crypto hype about how the entire world was about to run on web3 and knew it made no sense.

That made my opinion of crypto as ‘tons of people with no understanding of technology or the real world’

That cooled off and then watched the opposite. Tons of people tell me bitcoin would hit 0 even though it had been useful far before the 2021 hype.

Now I don’t know how I feel. Bitcoin has a fixed supply and I think it can serve as a store of wealth in that way if we all agree to it (author sort of disagrees with this).

I’m realizing I’ve maybe met other people decide for me how I feel about it.

That’s almost like calling delete in c++ and if you changed the C++ code to a class with a print in the destructor, then called “delete” you would get the same behavior.

The “just” underscore in rust I believe is special and basically makes that value inaccessible. So that value really does “destruct” there.

You say that they saw books get printed faster, so they could conceive communication getting so fast it’s instant, despite their knowledge being limited to physical material.

By the same logic, couldn’t I say we have theorized wormholes and have already seen objects (like black holes) warp time and space? Therefore maybe we can warp space to travel, rather than literally needing to go faster than light?

I think it’s easier for us now to conceive the idea that one day we could make a wormhole than it is for people with no concept of radio waves to conceive the idea of a cellphone.

Tell someone in the 1600s about the concept of cellphones and they would say it’s impossible to ever instantaneously communicate with someone around the world.

It’s so energy intensive with our current technology, which isn’t really an answer to fermi.

So that at least seems to imply that they adjust for that. Specially the line where you can get a 1% raise or a 10% new offer.

What I meant was many people jumped to say it was only money that caused people not to travel. Everyone knows a friend like mine. I have no idea of the breakdown, but my personal experience makes me want to question the idea it’s always all money.

I have a friend that grew up, went to college, went to law school all within 20 miles of his hometown. As soon as he graduated law school, he got married and started talking about having kids. That was a few years ago, but he was basically 45 and settled into his suburban life at the age of 24.

Go without GC is more like a Go and Zig baby.

I would say the #1 reason I stop learning a technology is because of frustrating or unclear errors.

EDIT: Getting a bit of topic, but I meant more because I love C and would love it more with rust level error messages.

Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but I feel like most human behavior we decide what we are gonna do and then find the reasons to justify it.

Even if a function is small, each and every line could be the thrower and not allow the rest to execute.
